Chapter 101 Broken Sword, Sword Forging Competition?
Chapter 101 Broken Sword... No, Sword Forging Competition?
The Third Mizukage raised the Skeleton Emperor in his hand high.
A large amount of chakra was poured into the Skeleton Emperor by the Third Mizukage.
An amazing breath burst out.
The next moment.
The Third Mizukage looked forward.
Under the sea not far away, a fish as big as a small boat was swimming in the water, swimming leisurely without any premonition of the impending danger.
At this moment, the Third Mizukage's attack fell.
The Skeleton Emperor chopped down fiercely.
"Crack!"
Extremely sharp.
Coupled with the huge power of the Third Mizukage, it fell on the big fish, and there was almost no hindrance, but it directly and smoothly chopped the big fish into two pieces.
At this time, the big fish realized what happened.
But it was no use.
The eyes of the Third Mizukage lit up.
"Very good!"
"Even without the power of aging, this performance alone is no worse than a blunt knife."
"When my axe falls, there are only a handful of people in the entire ninja world who can block it."
But this is not the end.
It can be seen that under the power of the Skeleton Emperor and the power of aging, the flesh and blood at the wound of the big fish rotted at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Even the bones began to crush.
"Sure enough, the more chakra I use, the stronger the aging effect!"
"This time, it only affects the area near the wound."
"If I can control the Skeleton Emperor better in the future, will the opponent rot into mud with one axe?"
The third generation of Mizukage looked at the Skeleton Emperor with burning eyes.
"Everyone says that I am the weakest Mizukage in history, but what about now?"
"With the Skeleton Emperor in hand, once I get close to him, who can say that the first generation and the second generation will definitely win me?"
"As for the third generation of Kage..."
The third generation of Mizukage left with the Skeleton Emperor with satisfaction.
Soon, several ANBU ninjas came out and looked at each other. They all saw the shock in each other's eyes, but they didn't say anything, just quickly cleaned up the scene.
Uehara Shu looked at the number on the reputation bar on the translucent screen in front of him, and it jumped suddenly.
It jumped directly from more than 400 to more than 600.
"If there is no accident, this should be brought by the Skeleton Emperor."
"Did the Third Mizukage show the ability of the Skeleton Emperor in front of others?"
"It is likely that it is an ANBU ninja."
"It has only been a short time. It seems that the Third Mizukage is also very concerned about the Skeleton Emperor. He is probably a little obsessed with personal strength. After all, the Third Mizukage cares about reputation."
"And strength can achieve reputation."
"In the original plot, the Third Mizukage didn't even leave a name. He can be regarded as the most invisible Mizukage, but this world is different now."
Uehara Shu retracted his gaze.
"My reputation has reached more than 600 now. Next, I just need to harvest wave reputation in recruiting trainee blacksmiths. It shouldn't be difficult to reach 1,000 reputation points."
"Then we can do it again, ten consecutive draws!"
Uehara Shu proposed recruiting trainee blacksmiths. In addition to reducing the workload of Arafune II, he also wanted to gain reputation.
Soon, the Anbu ninja sent the information over.
The information above was very clear.
Including the previous level of this blacksmith, age, family situation, personality, and what he is doing now.
Uehara Shu listed several rules.
First, those with excellent forging skills are given priority.
Second, those with stable families are given priority.
Third, those with good personalities are given priority.
Fourth, those who are eager for income are given priority.
Uehara Shu knew very well what kind of blacksmith he wanted.
There is no need to have the best forging skills, because no matter how good they are, they are not as good as Uehara Shu.
There is no need to have a strong pursuit of forging skills, because Uehara Shu recruits people to work.
In addition, considering the situation in the Hidden Mist Village and the previous events on the Forge Island, some of these forgers may have accumulated so much resentment that they want to defect.
The Hidden Mist Village has never lacked defectors.
Those with stable families are much less likely to defect.
If the family income is insufficient and they are eager for money, they will work harder.
They will not resist overtime.
What Uehara Osamu wants is such a worker.
This is not because Uehara Osamu is mean.
But at present, the situation on the Forge Island is more complicated.
It is equivalent to a small company in the start-up period.
But it is different from a small company in the start-up period.
Many small companies treat start-ups well. If they fail, they will go back to their own homes. There is nothing to say.
And if they succeed, there are not many who will treat start-ups well.
Most of them are kicked away.
But Uehara Osamu can guarantee a good future for the start-ups on the Forge Island.
A name came into Uehara Osamu's sight.
"Tokusou Daigo."
Uehara Shu had a strong impression of Tokusou.
One of the Seven Kirigakure who was kicked to death by Might Dai.
The user of the blunt knife Douga.
"He is a member of the same clan as Tokusou Yaito. With the relationship with Biwa Juzo, this person should be more trustworthy."
"He has a stable family and decent forging skills."
"After leaving Forge Island, I chose to become a mission ninja."
"And, very hard."
Osamu Uehara's brows moved slightly.
"With Tongcao Da's family situation, it seems that I don't need money that much. Why are you working so hard on the mission? To prove your strength and inherit the dull sword?"
"Or is it to improve your strength and go to the battlefield of the Kingdom of Fire to avenge the wild bait people of Tongcao?"
The conditions of Tongcao Taiga did not fully meet the requirements of Uehara Shu.
However, since Tsukusa Daiga worked so hard when he was a mission ninja, Uehara Shu believed that Tsukusa Daiga would not refuse to work overtime if he joined the Forging Island.
Shu Uehara circled Tonggusao Taiga's name, and then circled a few others that looked pretty good.
An ANBU ninja came to Uehara Osamu.
"Mr. Uehara."
"Please bring these people to the Forging Island, and I will arrange an assessment for them."
"Yes, Minister Uehara."
Except for Tongcao Taiga, the other members are all in Kirigakure Village.
But Tongcao Da and I returned to the village the next day.
The four blacksmiths were all a little stunned after receiving the notice from the ANBU ninja.
"So, is it true that there is another great blacksmith in our village?"
"Those ninja swords didn't exist before, but were newly made?"
"Forging Island really won't be banned?"
Many people already know the information about Kiriichimonji and other ninja swords.
However, not many people know how these ninja swords appeared and who made them.
Except for the upper echelons of the village and those who have come into contact with the forging of Shima Ninja Swords, few know the specific situation.
The Third Mizukage did it for Uehara Osamu's safety.
Even the blacksmiths who were on the forging island before were like this.
But now, they know.
The feelings of these blacksmiths were all excited due to the love of a lifetime.
In the past, on the Forging Island, even though the Forging Island had declined, their lives were much better than the days they lived as mission ninjas now, and they missed the past very much.
And now, there is a great blacksmith on the forging island.
what does that mean?
This means that Forging Island is about to rise again!
At this time, if you can return to the Forging Island and serve as a blacksmith, are you still worried about the future?
"Very good!"
"It is a great blessing for us to be able to follow such a great blacksmith."
"Forging Island will regain its glory in our hands!"
"I wonder what that great blacksmith looks like?"
A few people were still on the boat coming to the Forging Island, and they had already started talking excitedly.
Except Tongcao Dame.
Sitting alone, looking a little out of place.
"arrive."
As the ANBU ninja's voice fell, the boat stopped.
A figure was waiting in advance at the pier.
"Guys, come with me."
Loquat Juuzang looked at the four people, and then led the four people towards the direction of an empty forging room.
A blacksmith recognized the identity of Loquat Juzo.
"It was actually Loquat Juuzang himself who came to lead the way for us."
"Then it is now certain that the matter about the Great Blacksmith is definitely true."
Another blacksmith looked at Loquat Juuzang's waist.
"That one is the Blue Rose Sword, right?"
"It can give ninjas additional ice escape abilities. Loquat Juuzang relied on the Blue Rose Sword to seriously injure the hero of Sand Hidden Village, Ye Cang, and let us in Kirigakure Village regain our advantage."
"A ninja sword more powerful than the thunder sword."
Loquat Juuzang walked in with four people.
"Just wait here, Minister Uehara will be here soon."
After saying that, Loquat Juuzang left.
Several blacksmiths looked at each other.
"Boss Uehara?"
"There aren't many blacksmiths on the forging island now. When I was passing by just now, I took a look. It looked very desolate. There should be a lot fewer people than before."
"If you can be called a minister, he must be the great blacksmith."
"But who could it be?"
"It seems that none of the blacksmiths on the forging island were named Uehara."
Loquat Juzo came to Uehara Shu.
"Xiu, they are already here."
"good."
Uehara Osamu nodded and looked at Arafuneji next to him.
"Arafuneji, let's go there now."
"Yes, Minister Uehara."
The two came to the vacant blacksmith, opened the door and walked in.
A blacksmith saw someone walking in and immediately came forward to greet him. When he looked up, he saw Arafuneji and Uehara Osamu.
"Are you two of Minister Uehara's disciples?"
"When will Minister Uehara come over?"
Shu Uehara and Arafuneji were too young. They were so young that the blacksmith did not even think about the situation that one of them might be the great blacksmith.
Arafuneji frowned.
Another blacksmith suddenly seemed to recall something when he saw Uehara Shu.
"If I remember correctly, this young man's name seems to be Osamu Uehara, an orphan, and his teacher has passed away. Could it be that Osamu Uehara is Minister Uehara? Is he the great blacksmith?"
The blacksmith's pupils shrank sharply.
Subconsciously, he wanted to pull back the blacksmith who came forward.
But after thinking about it for a moment, he retracted his action again.
Today, several blacksmiths are in a competitive relationship.
"Let me introduce myself first."
Uehara Osamu said: "I am Uehara Osamu, currently serving as the head of the forging department, responsible for the affairs of the forging island. This is Arakane II, the official blacksmith of the forging department."
Instantly, the blacksmith who took the initiative to greet him showed an embarrassed expression.
He lowered his head quickly, and even his ears were red.
It can only mean that this blacksmith wanted to do some worldly things, but he was not worldly enough.
In short, he was not thick-skinned enough.
Several blacksmiths were very shocked.
Even Tongcao Daigo, who had not changed his expression before and seemed to be indifferent to this matter, also showed a surprised expression and looked at Uehara Osamu.
In the forging room, there was a sound of sucking in cold air.
"This is too young!"
"Fifteen or sixteen years old?"
"You are a great blacksmith at such a young age?"
"You are so young, but you can forge ninja tools like Kiri Ichimonji, Blue Rose Sword, Dragon Bone...?"
"Too scary."
For a moment, the four of them found it difficult to digest this fact.
But the four of them also knew that Uehara Shu could not lie. No one could let the Anbu ninja and Biwa Juzo participate in a scam, so this is true.
A blacksmith couldn't help but doubt his life.
I have practiced and studied forging for so many years, but in the end, I am not as good as a blacksmith who is much younger than me in forging.
"Is this the difference in talent?"
But then, it became excitement.
Because this blacksmith realized a problem.
That is, Uehara Shu has forged several ninja swords at the level of Seven Ninja Swords at such a young age. How many such ninja tools can Uehara Shu forge in the future?
Will they forge stronger ninja tools?
Uehara Osamu's forging skills are likely to have surpassed those of the great forgers of the past.
If I join the Forging Island, I can also learn some things.
"Forging Island can not only restore the glory of the past, but also climb to a higher peak."
"If I can be a part of it, I will have no regrets in my life!"
Uehara Osamu looked at Arafune II.
"Arafune II, let me introduce the rules to you."
"Yes, Minister Uehara."
Facing these forgers who are older than him, Arafune II was not at all nervous.
"Everyone, this assessment is divided into two parts, one part is forging technology, and the other part is an interview, which will be comprehensively scored by Minister Uehara."
"Only one person will be recruited this time."
"However, those with excellent performance will be given priority when recruiting trainee forgers next time."
"The assessment starts now."
Arafune II came to the side and lifted a piece of cloth.
Then, the abandoned ninja tools in the wooden box were revealed.
"Please use these materials to forge a qualified ninja sword."
"Use the method you are best at."
Uehara Osamu looked at the scene in front of him, a little dazed.
An inexplicable sense of familiarity came over him.
"I seem to have made a Hidden Mist Village version of the Broken Sword... No, the Sword Forging Competition?"
